Friday Folk logo

"Friday Folk" is a social dance club which meets at The Church Hall, Marlborough Road, St Albans, AL1 3XG, UK, on most Friday evenings from 7:45 - 10:00 pm. If you've ever been to a barn dance or a ceilidh, you'll know the sort of thing we do. We dance for our own enjoyment - sometimes to live music, sometimes to recordings.

Normally we do English or American dances, but we also do other national or specialised styles - sometimes for whole evenings, as our programme shows. We aim to keep the atmosphere informal, friendly and sociable, and many of us go to a local pub afterwards. We also have occasional non-dancing social events such as walks and theatre trips, as requested by members.

Give us a try!

New members are always welcome, especially beginners. There are no joining formalities or annual subscriptions. Just turn up - on your own or with a partner - and enjoy yourself. People mostly change partners after every dance, and usually there is a good balance between men and women each evening. It is normal for either men or women to ask a prospective partner for the next dance.

Normal Friday sessions cost just £3 on the night. (Some special evenings are longer and cost more - see programme.)

There is easy parking in nearby streets and car parks. Map here.
